ARX was an unreleased Mach-like operating system written in Modula-2+ developed by Acorn Computers Ltd in the Acorn Research Centre in Palo Alto for Acorn's new Archimedes personal computers based on the ARM architecture RISC CPUs. Later stages of development were continued by Olivetti after it acquired Acorn, before the project was cancelled and replaced.
